Its not my daily driver, but sometimes I do pick up my little one in the Camaro and put her car seat in the back behind the passenger seat (with it moved all the way forward). Hopefully I can still do that in the new one.

I have another model that attempts a wheel measurement from inside to inside of the outer lip of the rim, along with assumed 18 inch wheels that gives a 109.75inch wheelbase. so...who knows? Do we know what size wheels this one has: I'm guessing 18, which puts it on ATS wheelbase. It's all rudimentary anyway, all BS, just fun trying to figure it out - but 109.3 is probably it.

Also keep in mind for allll these creature comforts, the weight difference between a 1SS and 2SS is only about 40 pounds. Leather and a bunch of wires and controllers don't weigh that much. You are right on the basics, the more you can produce the lower the piece price. But GM's model is farrrr more complex than that. If your model held true you could just price the Corvette at $25,000 and you would sell a crap load of them and make even MORE money. It doesn't quite work out like that. There is a lot more too it than that. Yes, by selecting Alpha and likely putting the 2.0T as the base engine now, they will likely hold the base price. But don't confuse that with now adding additional premium materials and still holding price simply because the low volume Camaro also has some of those parts. Just because the ATS and CTS aren't selling, don't lose sight of the fact they were supposed to sell much better. I would expect GM at one point hoped the ATS would far outsell the Camaro.

I don't know if they'll sell the base model for $22 in '16. Probably more like $24. But they will be able to keep the prospective models within the market range and demographic the car currently resides. Even with all of the upgrades to the Corvette in '14, it still listed within a couple of grand of the outgoing generation, the Camaro will be no different. |

Based off of xgnxs's idea about assuming a 5x120 bolt pattern to size wheels yesterday. I tried this in CAD.

make the scale as large as possible to get the best accuracy. Using the same scale you measured the diameter (I assume you used MM's), then measure the distance front to rear, center of wheel. We are talking only 2 or 3 inches on a full scale, so I've found that it really is too rudimentary to attempt this - but i'm guessing 109.3 when they reveal. Something like this, only use the same scale.

I'm working on it now. I have seen both. The way i have done it and your way to measure bolt pattern. I wasn't sure which is correct. Thanks for the help.
